Britney Spears’ youngest son, Jayden Federline, was pictured for the first time after reportedly helping stage an intervention that led to her entering rehab.
The 19-year-old was spotted grabbing a smoothie and groceries from high-end food market Erewhon in Los Angeles on Monday. He stepped out in a white tank top, floral shorts and black sneakers.
His outing came a day after Spears, 44, checked herself into a treatment facility after a recent DUI arrest.
A source told the Daily Mail that intervention from Jayden and his brother, Sean Preston, 20, is what forced her to seek treatment for 30 days.
‘The boys started to get involved. They’re the only ones she listens to, and they were so loving, so kind, but also so firm. This was non-negotiable to them,’ the insider said.
Meanwhile, the singer’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, 48, is ‘happy’ that she is undergoing treatment.
‘Kevin is aware of the reports that she has checked into rehab and that if she needs help, he is happy that she is getting help and that the decision appears to be one that she made and not one imposed upon her by others if it was,’ his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told TMZ on Monday.
‘The key is that whatever the recommended treatment plan is that she follows it and completes it.’
A representative for Spears confirmed to the Daily Mail that the singer has ‘voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility’ on Sunday.
‘She realizes she hit rock bottom,’ an insider told TMZ of the Grammy-winning pop star’s decision to seek help, amid pressure from her inner circle.
The star has had yearslong issues with substances such as alcohol and the ADHD medication Adderall, sources told the publication.
Her decision to enter treatment comes around a month after she was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Ventura County, California, on March 4.
In the incident, authorities said the Oops!…I Did It Again singer appeared to be ‘driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol.’
The superstar also had her pending court case in connection with the DUI in mind when she committed to the 30-day rehab program.
‘She knows strategically this will look good in front of the judge – that she’s taking it seriously,’ a source told TMZ of the case, which returns before a judge May 4.
Their sons have recently been spending more time with their famous mother, after a period of estrangement.
Following her 2007 divorce from Federline, and after her 13-year long conservatorship began in 2008, Federline had majority custody of the boys, who later moved with him to Hawaii.
In 2022, Federline revealed that the boys were estranged from their mother, though after several attempts at reconciliation, it appears she is back on good terms with her sons.
Spears had an unexpected reunion with both of them for a sailing trip earlier this month. The young men appeared alongside their mom on a boat in videos uploaded to Instagram.
Spears was visited by Jayden last month in the wake of her dramatic DUI arrest, and previously saw him around Christmas time, but Sean doesn’t appear to have spent time with her since last year.
Spears has been sober since her DUI arrest in the Westlake Village neighborhood of California, near her mansion.
And the Womanizer singer has been regularly attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings in the Los Angeles area.
‘Britney has been very open and honest in her AA meetings, she has said she loves pouring her heart out as she knows that is the best way to heal and feel better,’ a source told the Daily Mail.
‘The only thing she has indulged in is fancy coffee drinks. She is being super careful because she wants to be there for her kids.’
The Louisiana native has been catching up on quality time with her sons lately.
‘She is very happy that they are close again. It is healing her heart. She loves her sons,’ the insider added.
Shortly after the news of her arrest broke, a rep told Daily Mail: ‘This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable.’
‘…[Britney’s] boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for wellbeing.’
